What the college says

Undoubtedly, physics is one of the most challenging but prestigious subjects you can study at A level. It offers you the opportunity to learn about how everything around you works: everything in your life, on this planet and to the far reaches of the Universe. You will have already come across many of the concepts of physics at GCSE: forces, energy, waves, radioactivity, electricity and magnetism. At A Level you will start to see how these ideas work together, and begin to grasp the universal principles that apply to everything from the smallest atoms to the largest galaxies. This will be achieved via problem solving, mathematical techniques and practical work, all of which will play a pivotal role in your understanding of the course.

What you need to get on

A minimum of 5 GCSEs, grades 4 - 9 (A* - C) including 2 x Grade 6 in the new GCSE Dual Award (Trilogy) or Grade 6 in GCSE Physics (although Grade 7s in sciences are preferred) and a Grade 5 in GCSE English Language or English Literature and Mathematics.

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
